Business
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.

Best Quotes about Business
Compromise is usually bad. It should be a last resort. If two departments or divisions have a problem they can't solve and it comes up to you, listen to both sides and then pick one or the other. This places solid accountability on the winner to make it work. Condition your people to avoid compromise.
Townsend, Robert
A man with a surplus can control circumstances, but a man without a surplus is controlled by them, and often has no opportunity to exercise judgment.
Firestone, Harvey S.
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
Manzi, Jim
Cut your losses and let your profits run.
Proverb, American
I think it is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises -- but only performance is reality.
Geneen, Harold S.
Never let an inventor run a company. You can never get him to stop tinkering and bring something to market.
Little, Royal
Formerly when great fortunes were only made in war, war was business; but now when great fortunes are only made by business: Business is war!
Bovee, Christian Nevell
People want economy and they'll pay almost any price to get it.
Iacocca, Lee
I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.
John Cleese
Our planning system was dynamite when we first put it in. The thinking was fresh; the form mattered little. It was idea oriented. We then hired a head of planning, and he hired two vice presidents, and then he hired a planner; and the books got thicker, and the printing more sophisticated, and the covers got harder, and the drawings got better.
Welch, John
What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it.
Dewolf, Nicholas
It takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by -- Advertising, Initiative, and Dynamics.
Mulford Jr., Ren
Few great men could pass personal.
Goodman, Paul
A man's success in business today turns upon his power of getting people to believe he has something that they want.
Lee, Gerald Stanley
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
Buffett, Warren
Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
Welch, John
A consumer is a shopper who is sore about something.
Coffin, Harold
Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.
Grove, Andrew
If a fellow wants to be a nobody in the business world, let him neglect sending the mail man to somebody on his behalf.
Kettering, Charles F.
Treat employees like partners, and they act like partners.
Allen, Fred A.
When two friends have a common bank account, one sings and the other weeps.
Proverb
A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes that he has got the biggest piece.
Erhard, Ludwig
Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Business is like war in one respect. If its grand strategy is correct, any number of tactical errors can be made and yet the enterprise proves successful.
Woods, General Robert E.
If you did not look after today's business then you might as well forget about tomorrow.
Mophatlane, Isaac
Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excommunicated, for they have no souls.
Coke, Sir Edward
A vacation should be just long enough that you're boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you.
I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't.
Rothschild, Sir Nathan
In a start-up company, you basically throw out all assumptions every three weeks.
Mcnealy, Scott
The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.
Peters, Thomas J.
Show me the business man or institution not guided by sentiment and service; by the idea that he profits most who serves best and I will show you a man or an outfit that is dead or dying.
Harris, B. F.
The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is TEST. If you pretest your product with consumers, and pretest your advertising, you will do well in the marketplace.
Ogilvy, David
You read a book from beginning to end. You run a business the opposite way. You start with the end, and then you do everything you must to reach it.
Ceo, Harold Geneen
Business, that's easily defined; it's other people's money.
Dumas, Alexandre
Make every decision as if you owned the whole company.
Townsend, Robert
Work is our business; it's success is God s.
Proverb, German
One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don't share ideas.
O'Reilly, Anthony J. F.
Every business is built on friendship.
Penney, J. C. (James Cash)
Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change.
Wang, An
Feedback is the breakfast of champions.
Blanchard, Ken
Anything that you do to increase job security automatically does work for you. It makes your employees a closer part of the unit.
Smith, Roger
It is much more difficult to measure non-performance than performance. Performance stands out like a ton of diamonds. Non-performance can almost always be explained away.
Geneen, Harold S.
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
Blake, William
If each of us hires people smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs.
Ogilvy, David
In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman.
David M. Ogilvy
It doesn't matter to me if a man is from Harvard or Sing Sing. We hire the man, not his history.
Ford, Henry
It is almost as difficult to keep a first class person in a fourth class job, as it is to keep a fourth class person in a first class job.
Dunn, Paul H.
Corporations are social organizations, the theater in which men and women realize or fail to realize purposeful and productive lives.
Rena, Peter
Every man is a consumer and ought to be a producer.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Women do not win formula one races, because they simply are not strong enough to resist the G-forces.In the boardroom, it is different.I believe women are better able to marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical they make fewer assumptions.
Foulston, Nicola
